    Austin Craigslist: BT3000 w/ wide, downdraft & outfeed

    Not mine.

    http://austin.craigslist.org/tls/3213660817.html

    Includes the downdraft wide table kit and some sort of Ryobi cyclone separator which I've never seen before. Also claims to have the quickfold table as well, but I don't see it in the pictures. $425 seems pretty steep to me, but its rare to see one of these with this many of the accessories.

    that's the Ryobi shop vac, not some cyclone. THey sold a shop vac in the early 90's of which the claim to fame was that it had a separate cooling fan rather than using the air stream to cool the motor. THis is a feature of the Feins also and is important when using it for the flotation/vacuum hold down table where the suction is dead-ended and there's not much air flow.

    And note he does have the vacuum hold down/flotation table mounted on the wide table rails which is much more rare than the QF table. Maybe he got them confused... since he didn't mention the flotation/vac table but did mention the QF table. Lots of tables in the Ryobi system (main table, SMTable, Aux-Router table, QF table, dual miter slot table, wide table, Vac/flotation table), some can't keep then all straight.

    Still, $425 seems a bit high.

    If your only tool is a hammer, you tend to treat all problems as if they were nails.

        Actually, he does have the quick fold table. If you look at the second picture, you can see top of the hinge and the end of the folded leg. Having said that, the price is still way up!!

          Sharp Eyes! You are, 100% correct: there is a folding outfeed table mounted back there.

          At least $400 original price of extras. ~100 wide kit ~100 for FOT, ~100 for vac/float table, ~100 for shop vac.

          Still as C'nHack says looks like a hard life.

          Probably still a high price as that saw is probably ~20 years old, given that 1292-1993 was time frame is when those accessories were pushed; I'm presuming he bought it all at the same time.
